But one local activist says he has a lot more to apologize and answer to than hurting people's feelings. This from Kamora Herrington, who leads the mentoring program for True Colors, a Hartford-based youth and family services organization for gay, lesbian and transgender teens.

Here's her full letter, and if anyone has any ideas on how to get this to the comedian, let me know.

Dear Tracy,

I woke up to your apology this morning and was disappointed. You apologized to your fans and the gay and lesbian community; that missed the point for me.

You know that your words offended the gay community because Kevin Rogers, an out gay man, was able to blog about his experience and share it with the world.

I can't pretend to know Mr. Rogers' situation, but I'm going to assume that he's found a way to live his life in an out and proud manner, and while your tirade against us was offensive to him, it didn't create a life or death situation.

Mr. Morgan, I'd like you to consider your position in the Black community. While you are a comedian and people expect that most of what comes out of your mouth will be jokes, there are certain cultural norms that you have the ability to perpetuate or reject or come up with something in between. Personally, I'd say examine them, but that's me.

When you perpetuate negative stereotypes towards the gay community, much less violence towards us, you're reinforcing the belief that Black people hate gay people. I'm tired of defending my community against my community and you don't make my job any easier by inserting yet another quotable example of Black people hating on gay people into the cultural and political discourse.

Mr. Morgan I am a bi-racial, lesbian mother who works with LGBT teens on a daily basis. Most of these teens are youth of color - that's us Tracy. Because of what they see and hear on t.v. and the radio they know that when they come out as gay they are losing the Black community. Imagine if someone told you being funny wasn't a Black thing so you could only hang out with white comedians. And if you'd try to hang out with Black folks they'd reject you. And when you hang out with your white comedian friends, sometimes some of them would make Black folk jokes because Black folks are funny. That just doesn't feel right. Does it?
